How can unicode symbols u+2404 ␄ EOT and u+2405 ␅ ENQ be corrected?

Question

The title above is rendered incorrectly in Ubuntu 12.04 as:

switched glyphs

The unicode title identifications are correct for the codes but the symbols are switched. EOT ␄ is the same as control-D but unfortunately the wrong symbol is used. (likewise ENQ ␅ control-E)

Escalation info not pursued. Is there a more immediate solution?

An answer to this question would provide some remedial info.

Note: The glyph code u+240E ␎ (which also is wrong!) is used when referring to u+000E aka SO (Shift Out) or control-N, basically any control code is rendered as a symbol by adding 2400_hex to the control code to get the equivalent Unicode glyph.

Wikipedia control code chart showing associated glyphs
Compare the chart's ENQuiry ENQ, End Of Transmission EOT and Shift Out SO character symbols on a machine which renders them correctly (ie. NOT a stock Ubuntu 12.04 OS machine), with u+2404, u+2405 & u+240E in character map (run it from the utility icon or use a terminal command: gucharmap or gnome-character-map).

Also the u+240e glyph is wrong for Shift Out, SO, ^N, u+000e

Can these be easily fixed?

This has been fixed in more recent versions of Ubuntu, and was reported in this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-freefont/+bug/1070669

I doubt it's severe enough to be considered for a "Stable Release Update", so you'll probably just have to live with it until you can upgrade: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
